Definitions

  • the present disclosure refers to a protection device for a personal protection, of the type including an inflatable member and adapted to protect from impacts and/or falls a passenger, a motor vehicle driver or an alike user, during a sporting and/or working activity.
  • the motorcycling field is particularly attentive to such problems; in the last years, the offer of protection devices allowing effective and concomitantly practical motorcyclist protection has increased.
  • a practical solution is that of a personal protection device including an inflatable bag which is arranged deflated in a resting condition, and is worn-on by a user at body parts potentially concerned by impacts and entailed possible lesions, see for example US 4,089,065 .
  • the inflatable bag is set in fluid communication with a gas source, like a compressed gas canister or a gas generator.
  • a gas source like a compressed gas canister or a gas generator.
  • the gas source is adapted to introduce a preset amount of compressed gas such as to set the inflatable bag in an inflated, therefore tensioned condition, to form a sort of inflated balloon. Therefore, the amount of gas introduced is strictly correlated to the bag volume in order to guarantee a satisfactory inflation.
  • a need stemming from the use of said inflatable bag is that of controlling as much as possible the overall shape of the bag in an inflated condition, in order to obtain a bag that, in an inflated condition, be as much as possible shaped to a user's body part that has to be protected.
  • a protection device for a personal protection comprising an inflatable bag, whose shape in a condition of maximum expansion may be controlled, i.e. a bag that, once inflated, has a previously determined shape.
  • a way to proceed is that of providing a plurality of fixed connection points between opposite superficial portions of a non-tubular inflatable member, i.e. forming inside the member a plurality of septums or diaphragms obtained by mutual fixing between opposite face portions of the same inflatable member.
  • a drawback lies in the fact that said diaphragms or septums, being formed by inflatable member portions fixed therebetween, have a reduced resistance to overpressures to which the inflatable member is subjected at inflation, under the action of pressurized gas introduced whose direction of diffusion/distribution is hardly predictable, above all at member inflation.
  • pressurized gas introduced whose direction of diffusion/distribution is hardly predictable, above all at member inflation.
  • Such overpressures, or even local impacts, can determine a rupture of the septums or diaphragms and therefore can cause an expansion of the inflatable member, or sometimes a rupture thereof, such as to determine an undesired excessive expansion of the inflatable member, thereby prejudicing the possibility of having a member of desired shape.
  • a technical problem at the basis of the present disclosure lies in providing a protection device for the personal protection capable of overcoming the abovementioned drawbacks and/or of achieving further advantages, and of providing a garment including said device for the personal protection.
  • Such a problem is solved by a protection device for the personal protection of a user according to claim 1 and by a method for manufacturing a protection device according to claim 22.
  • wall or “sheet” it is meant, within the scope of the present disclosure, a covering member for a respective mesh, wherein the first and the second wall are associated therebetween so as to define a chamber inside which the first and the second mesh, and the tie members connecting the first and the second mesh are arranged.
  • a first advantage consists in the fact that the use of a plurality of tie members fixed to respective meshes allows to control the shape of the inflatable member in an inflated condition, and concomitantly ensure a satisfactory protection to the user.
  • the inflatable member has a shape determinable from the maximum distance obtainable between the meshes with a maximum longitudinal extension of the tie members, thanks to the fact that it is substantially a bivalve-type inflatable member and comprises at least a first sheet or first wall, or first valve, to which a first mesh is adherently fixed, and a second sheet, or second wall, or second valve, to which a second mesh is adherently fixed, in which said meshes are connected therebetween by a plurality of tie members, and wherein said two sheets are opposed therebetween and perimetrically sealingly connected along respective perimetral edges.
  • the inflatable member in an inflated condition may have any one shape and size, it being sufficient to arrange, in a case formed between two opposite walls or sheets, a structure including a first mesh and a second mesh and the tie members fixed to the meshes, preferably by connecting opposite portions of the inflatable member, wherein each mesh is associated adherent to the respective wall, and adjusting the length of the tie members, so that the tie members have a condition of maximum tension and/or maximum extension when the inflatable member is inflated.
  • the shape and size of the inflatable member can be controlled and set a priori, since the maximum expansion of the inflatable member can be controlled by controlling the length and the maximum tension of the tie members.
  • the inflatable member can easily be coupled to other protection devices or members independent of the inflatable member, and having a shape conjugated to that of the inflatable member in an inflated condition.
  • tie members having the same length it is possible to manufacture an inflatable member having a flattened, plate-shaped, mat-like shape, which can be easily coupled to a flat member, like, e.g., a rigid plate, for an additional protection of a user.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that the tie members guarantee a limited expansion of the inflatable member in an inflated condition so as to obtain a reduced encumbrance, and in particular a limited thickness, concomitantly ensuring an adequate protection for a user.
  • Such a reduced encumbrance allows, in case of fortuitous inflation of the inflatable member, a lesser discomfort and risk to a user while he/she drives a vehicle.
  • a limited expansion of the inflatable member does not prejudice the control of a vehicle by the user, and therefore does not constitute a risk of accident.
  • the personal protection device has a greater resistance to localized impacts, or overpressures.
  • the tie members break, such a breaking of a single tie member would not prejudice the desired limitation of the expansion of the inflatable member, such a limitation being anyhow ensured by the other tie members.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that by controlling the shape of the inflatable member it is possible to control (and in particular to limit) also an amount of gas needed for satisfactory inflation of the inflatable member.
  • the presence of a plurality of ties between the first mesh and the second mesh allows to obtain a protection device having a structure provided with a certain sturdiness in an inflated condition.
  • a protection device having a structure provided with a certain sturdiness in an inflated condition.
  • by suitably calibrating the length of the tie members with the overall dimensions of the inflatable member it is possible to obtain a member that in an inflated condition has a certain sturdiness and constructive solidity; this contributes to a greater protection for a user.
  • Such a sturdiness allows to the device according to the present disclosure to be used as a so-called "individual protection device" for the protection of an individual from unforeseen impacts or falls, i.e., to protect an individual in case of an unforeseen offensive event.
  • the protection device according to the present disclosure can be inflated over very rapid times, of the order of milliseconds (ms), and even more particularly between 10 to 500 ms, preferably between 10 and 200 ms, even more preferably to reach overpressures (with respect to the atmospheric pressure) comprised between 0.5 and 3 bar.
  • the personal protection device includes means for actuating and means for inflating the inflatable member, i.e., one or more sensors capable of detecting the unforeseen event, and valves capable of connecting the internal chamber of the inflatable member with a source of inflating fluid.
  • the source of inflating fluid preferably comprises a generator of cold gas, like e.g. Helium, i.e. a container in which gas is held at a high pressure.
  • a generator of cold gas like e.g. Helium, i.e. a container in which gas is held at a high pressure.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that the tie members, by being stably connected to the respective meshes, offer a high strength even in case of local pressures due to knocks at the instant of an impact or of a fall.
  • the tie members are of flexible type, and therefore can be flexed or tensioned when required, depending on member inflation.
  • the tie members are suitably sized so that when the inflatable member is in a resting deflated condition they are in a non-tensioned condition, preferably collapsed in said internal chamber, whereas when the inflatable member is in an inflated condition they are subjected to stress, and in particular to tensile stress. This embodiment guarantees a minimum encumbrance of the inflatable member in a deflated condition.
  • the tie members have the shape of threads, to form with the two meshes a so-called 3D (three-dimensional) or double-knit fabric.
  • Each thread having the function of tie member, comes out from one of said first and second mesh and is integrally and continuously interlaced with the other one of said first and second mesh. Substantially, it is a continuous interlacing between the thread forming the meshes and the threads/ties connecting the two meshes.
  • This embodiment allows to distribute a high number of tie members with a relatively high surface density, such as to guarantee a satisfactory control of the shape and, if necessary, a sufficient limitation of the expansion of the inflatable member.
  • each wall is glued to the respective mesh, and has a surface extension greater than the mesh associated thereto and has peripheral edges, projecting with respect to the meshes, which are sealingly joined.
  • the first mesh is perimetrically fixed, e.g. by seaming, in direct contact with the second mesh.
  • This embodiment entails the advantage of allowing an improved strength of the inflatable member at the inflation stage, reducing wall tearing risk, and of satisfactorily enduring pressure waves occurring inside the inflatable member at the perimetral zones during the inflation stage.
  • the tie members are elastic. Elasticity entails the advantage of enabling a controlling of tie member tensioning (by elastic deformation control), and therefore a further controlling of the shape of the inflatable member, at the time of inflation of the inflatable member, as well as of facilitating a subsequent deflation of the inflatable member (by return to an undeformed condition).
  • the inflatable member comprises a reinforcing layer associated to a respective superficial portion; in a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing layer is interposed between a mesh and the respective wall lined thereby.
  • said reinforcing layer faces the outside environment; in other words, the internal chamber of the inflatable member is interposed between the reinforcing layer and the user's body.
  • the reinforcing layer is flexible and therefore not inconvenient to the user. However, when the inflatable member is in an inflated condition, it is placed under tensile stress by the inflatable member itself and therefore assumes a more rigid behaviour.
  • the presence of the reinforcing layer is advantageous as it allows to increase penetration strength: a concentrated force (e.g., due to an impact against a sharp object) acting on the reinforcing layer is redistributed by the latter on a wider surface of inflatable member.
  • the presence of the reinforcing layer ensures to the inflatable member a good protection effectiveness even when the latter is not completely inflated.
  • the protection device further comprises a deflation valve, communicating on one side with the internal chamber and on the other side with an external environment, for allowing a deflation of the inflatable member from the inflated condition to the deflated condition.
  • This deflation valve may be controlled directly manually by the user, or by an electronic control system. This enables the user, following a fall that has entailed the actuation/inflation of the protection device, to return the device itself to a non-operative/deflated condition, so as to easily continue the sporting activity, like e.g. a motorcycling competition.
  • the protection device is of a type directly wearable on a user's body.
  • the protection device is included in a garment, such as, e.g. a motorcyclist suit, and is easily wearable by a user.
  • the garment comprises a pocket intended to house the protection device.
  • a personal protection device according to the present disclosure is denoted, in accordance with a first embodiment.
  • the protection device 1 comprises an inflatable member 2 in which an internal chamber 3 is defined, said inflatable member 2 being adapted to assume substantially a first resting condition, or deflated condition, and a second active condition, or inflated condition.
  • the inflation modes of the inflatable member 2 will be described hereinafter in the description.
  • the protection device 1 comprises a plurality of tie members 5 distributed in the internal chamber 3 and stably connected to respective portions of the inflatable member 2, in particular to superficial portions thereof.
  • tie member 5 it is meant a member or entity having the function of keeping joined or constrained or stationary or stationary, it being tensioned by tensile stress, two or more portions of the inflatable member 2, at least when the latter is in an inflated condition.
  • the tie members 5 are of thread-shaped type, and are flexible and inextensible members. Therefore, they are suitably sized so that, when the inflatable member 2 is in a resting condition, they are preferably not subjected to tensioning and are collapsed in the internal chamber 3, whereas when the inflatable member 2 is in an inflated condition they are subjected to tensile stress, as illustrated by way of example in Figures 4 and 5 .
  • the tie members 5 besides being of thread-shaped and flexible type, are elastic members. Therefore, they are suitably sized so that, when the inflatable member 2 is in a resting condition, they are preferably not subjected to tensioning, or possibly subjected to a slight tensioning, whereas when the inflatable member 2 is in an inflated condition they are tensioned until reaching a greater extension and a greater tensioning. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, it is advantageous that the tie members 5 be thickly distributed in the inflatable member 2, e.g.
  • tie members 5 are distributed substantially homogeneously in the internal chamber 3.
  • the inflatable member 2 is wearable and comprises three regions 2a, 2b, 2c, of which:
  • the first region 2a is interposed between the second region 2b and the third region 2c.
  • the three regions 2a, 2b, 2c are pneumatically connected thereamong to form the member 2 and a single internal chamber 3.
  • the second region 2b has an opening 8b set in fluid communication with a corresponding opening 8a obtained in the first region 2a
  • the third region 2c in a connecting zone 9 connecting with the first region 2a ( Figures 8 and 10 ) has an end mouth 9c which is set in fluid communication with a corresponding opening 9a obtained in the first region 2a at the side opposite with respect to the second region 2b.
  • Suitable bondings (preferably heat-taped) denoted by reference number 4b are carried out in the connecting zone 8 between the two regions 2a and 2b, and further bondings 4c are carried out in the connecting zone 9 between the two portions 2a and 2c, such as to guarantee a seal of the internal chamber 3, so as to prevent inflation gas from leaking from the internal chamber 3 through said connecting zones 8 and 9.
  • all three regions 2a, 2b, 2c are formed by opposite walls 15, 16 perimetrically sealed along respective perimetral edges or lips 20, 21 and are provided with said tie members 5.
  • the region 2a of the inflatable member 2 comprises at least said two walls 15, 16, or sheets, made of a sheet of soft and gas-tight material, e.g. polyamide or polyurethane, which are opposed the one with respect to the other, and perimetrically fixed along the abovementioned perimetral edges 20, 21 by a sealing edge 17, which will be detailed hereinafter.
